**tl;dr** _It would be awesome if TestOps did a recursive search inside the `/Test Suites/` folder for all `.ts` files instead of only `/Test Suites/*.ts`_

# How much will it affect you while this goes unresolved?

1. It doesn’t affect much, but I believe Katalon team should have this ticket resolved

# Describe the feature you’d like or how the current features need to be updated

My team organizes all of our Test Suites into sub-folders underneath the Test Suites folder:

Unfortunately, when using this on TestOps as a Script Repository, only the `.ts` files _immediately_ under the `/Test Suites/` folder are picked up. I went ahead and copied a couple of our `.ts` files to the `/Test Suites/` folder to test this theory, and sure enough those files (and only those files) were picked up:

I tested using symbolic links, and those were _not_ picked up, either. That, too, would be a painless solution since at least then I could keep the files in their current locations organized in sub-folders and just link to the needed ones inside the `/Test Suites/` folder.

I’m new to this job, was pushing for using the Katalon Scheduler to schedule test runs, and now I’ve got to have a meeting with my supervisor and the QA team to tell them that my idea will require re-organizing our existing structure and changing everything in our system that depends on those file locations 🤦

## Solution

In a TestOps Script Repository, do a recursive search in the `/Test Suites/` folder to find _all_ `.ts` files organized in any sub-folders.
